The AMX 13 was originally designed in the immediate aftermath of
the Second World War. It represents French ambitions for national
resurgence and withdrawal from wartime dependence on American
military technology. Being a light tank it was an ambitious and far
sighted departure from conventional tank design and it found a
ready export market as well as being a critical part in the French
Army arsenal. Its basic hull design lent itself to the development
of a vast list of variants. French designers progressively
modernised, and indeed reinvented, the AMX13 and enabled it to
claim to be one of the most successful armoured vehicle programmes
of the post-war period. It proved its worth in numerous small wars
worldwide in the service of many countries. This, the first
commercially published work on the AMX13 in English, examines in
detail the technical industrial and tactical story of this
remarkably successful armoured fighting vehicle. The authoritative
text is backed by an impressive selection of images
The Old Testament book of Ruth is understandably a firm favorite in
the church for small-group study and preaching: a heart-warming
story of loyalty and love, a satisfying tale of a journey from
famine to fullness. In the academy, the book has been a testing
ground for a variety of hermeneutical approaches, and many
different ways of interpreting it have been put forward. However,
the single interpretative lens missing is the one that is most
beneficial for the church: biblical theology. While commentaries
have adopted a biblical-theological approach of one form or
another, there has not been a detailed treatment of the themes in
Ruth from that perspective. Lau and Goswell's valuable New Studies
in Biblical Theology volume aims to fill this gap. First, they
focus on the meaning of the text as intended by the author for the
original readers, but are mindful that the book is set within the
wider context of Scripture. This context means not only the books
surrounding Ruth in the canon, or even a particular section of
Scripture, but also the rest of the Old Testament and the New
Testament. Second, they discuss selected themes in Ruth, including
redemption, kingship, mission, kindness, wisdom, famine, and the
hiddenness of God. Within the overarching narrative of the Bible,
from Genesis to Revelation, these themes can be viewed as different
threads within the same cloth, or can be heard as different
instrumental 'voices' within a symphony. Addressing key issues in
biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in Biblical
Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better understand
their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson, aiming to
simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact with current
scholarship and to point the way ahead.
